Providing world-leading science, data, and advice on volcanic and seismic hazards
The UK Centre for Observation and Modelling of Earthquakes, Volcanoes and Tectonics (COMET) uses satellite measurements alongside ground-based observations and geophysical models to study earthquakes and volcanoes. We help understand, prepare for, and respond to the hazards they pose.
COMET brings together world-leading scientists across the British Geological Survey (BGS), 14 UK universities and external partners.
